This is my favorite light soup to start a guest dinner. It came from the 1975 edition of The American Heart Association Cookbook and varies significantly from the 1998 fifth edition version I posted as Recipe # 289524 "Fresh Mushroom Soup". I use a lot of mushrooms, and prefer to see my mushroom slices as opposed to blending everything.

Steps:
- Slice caps and stems of mushrooms in thick pieces.
- Heat oil in a heavy saucepan and saute the mushrooms quickly until just crisp tender.
- Combine all other ingredients in blender and mix until thick and foamy.
- Add mushrooms to blender and, using lowest speed, blend for 4 to 5 seconds or until mushrooms are chopped into fine pieces but not pulverized. (I generally skip this step, preferring identifiable mushroom slices.).
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat slowly, stirring with a wire whisk to keep from burning. Use an asbestos pad if soup is to be left on the stove.
- Sprinkle thinly sliced rings from the green part of green onions on top of each bowl of soup.
